Japans varning: Belöna inte Nordkorea i för tidigt skede

The North Korea–United States summit is a proposed meeting between the leaders of North Korea and the United States officially set for June 12, 2018, in Singapore. The White House confirmed the planned meeting between President Donald Trump and Chairman Kim Jong-un on March 8, 2018. If the summit takes place, it will be the first time a sitting U.S. President met with the leader of North Korea since the Korean War. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that "in the meantime, all sanctions and maximum pressure must remain". Kim referenced preparations for the meeting in remarks to the Politburo of the Workers' Party of Korea on April 9. North Korea cut off talks with South Korea on May 15, 2018, and threatened to cancel the planned North Korea–U.S. summit, citing military exercises between the United States and South Korea. Nine days later, the U.S. officially backed out of the summit. However, the following day, President Trump reversed course and left open the possibility of the June 12 Singapore summit with North Korea happening anyway, in response to a message from North Korea which Trump found surprisingly friendly.
